Just this really. I get a severe headache after sex. Sometimes I feel a strong rage aswell. Has anyone felt this? What was the cause and what did you do for relief?

Not sure about the rage part, but post-coital headaches are a recognized problem. You should go to your GP as in a small number of cases they are a warning of a problem within your brain, such as a swollen blood vessel. In most cases there is no obvious cause. Try different painkillers to see what helps; I think some people do get treated with other drugs such as beta blockers, but I don't know a lot about that. Do see your GP though, to be on the safe side
